Homes owned by National League for Democracy (NLD) MPs' in Chaungzon Township, Mon State, have been shuttered, according to locals.

The houses of former Pyithu Hluttaw member Daw Mi Cho Thae, and former Amyotha Hluttaw member, U Lin Tin Htay from Kwum The village in Chaungzon Township were closed up in the evening of February 21.

The former NLD MPs were detained by security forces on the grounds that they were linked to terrorist groups.

In Mon State, as many as  six former NLD MPs' homes have been shuttered due to alleged links to terrorist organizations, including two former Chaungzon MPs.
